Talent Fusion System

"Damn it, it finally came!"

Wu Di felt tears welling up in his eyes. But he had only activated the system by accidentally killing a Dragon-level monster. This damn activation condition was absurdly difficult.

"Oh my God, it really is Mr. KING!"

"The Seventh S-Class Hero, the Strongest Man on Earth! Mr. KING, you're my idol! Please shake my hand!"

Before anyone realized it, all the residents from the nearby houses had come out and surrounded Wu Di. Their excitement was plain to see.

"Mr. KING, thank you for stepping in and saving our lives."

Smile Man walked up to Wu Di and bowed deeply. When he had regained consciousness, he had happened to see KING kill the suspected Dragon-level monster with a single kick.

"Leave the rest for you to handle. I have something important to take care of, so I'll be leaving first."

Seeing more and more people gathering around him, Wu Di casually gave a few instructions and prepared to slip away. But the area was already packed with people.

"Didn't you hear? Mr. KING has something important to deal with!"

"Make way! Make way!"

A path immediately opened through the crowd. Wu Di was eager to study the system he had just activated, so he simply waved his hand and quickly left amid everyone's admiring gazes.

"Is KING trying to give the credit to us?"

Smile Man watched KING's departing figure, his eyes filled with admiration, before making a phone call.

"What did you say? A Dragon-level monster?"

Jace's shocked voice rang out at Hero Association headquarters.

"That's right. Your intelligence was completely inaccurate, and the monster threat level you assigned was far too low. The three of us nearly died here."

Smile Man's tone was full of complaint.

"But if it really was a Dragon-level monster, how did you escape?"

Jace was deeply puzzled. Dragon-level monsters were simply too rare, and since all three heroes had survived, perhaps there had been some mistake.

"Fortunately, we ran into KING. He killed the monster in one strike."

"You mean KING?"

Jace's pupils contracted slightly, but Maria, the customer service representative, immediately spoke up to remind him.

"That's right. We received the same intelligence on our end. KING made a move, and he really does live in City M."

"So that's what happened. What a blessing in disguise. It's truly fortunate that KING is with us!"

Jace let out a sigh of relief. The damage a Dragon-level monster could cause was simply too immense, and even ordinary S-Class Heroes found it difficult to deal with one alone. But for the Strongest Man on Earth, even a Dragon-level monster was probably nothing worth mentioning.

"Hmm? What did you just say?"

A haughty little girl in a cheongsam floated in the air, her entire body glowing green as she stared at Jace questioningly.

"M-Miss Tatsumaki?"

Terrible Tornado, the Second S-Class Hero, twenty-eight years old, an esper.

"It was only a Dragon-level monster. Why didn't you just call me when something like this happened? Honestly, KING stole all the glory again."

Tatsumaki wore a disdainful expression as Jace wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Haha, Tatsumaki, you're the Hero Association's universally recognized strongest weapon."

Jace gave an awkward laugh. He did not dare offend this little ancestor, or the Hero Association itself might get torn down.

"Hmph~ Of course I am. When KING gets here, I'll show him what the true Strongest on Earth looks like."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tatsumaki flew straight out of the operations room.

"Talent Fusion System?"

Wu Di returned home, summoned the system interface, and began studying it carefully.

"Congratulations, Host, on successfully activating the system. Kill monsters to obtain Talent Points, which can be exchanged for various Talent Skills."

"Damn system, do you know how I survived these past two years?"

Thinking back to the past two years he had spent hiding everywhere, Wu Di's eyes filled with tears.

"The Host only needs to kill any monster to activate the system."

"Huh?"

Wu Di's expression instantly froze. He had thought he needed to kill a Dragon-level monster to activate it.

"Then why the hell didn't you say so earlier?"

Wu Di gritted his teeth.

"You never asked."

"Fine, I didn't ask, right? I don't want to live anymore. Find someone else."

Whoosh~ Wu Di grabbed a knife from the kitchen. A man lived for his pride, and he raised the knife toward his neck.

"Upon first activating the system, the Host will receive a beginner's gift pack, which may contain an S-Class Talent."

"Goodbye!"

"The Host will additionally receive one hundred thousand Talent Growth Points, which can directly raise an S-Class Talent Value to one hundred percent."

"Useless. I said I'm done living, so I'm done living!"

"Ding~ One S-Class Talent will be unlocked for free."

"Hmm... I should drink poison instead. It won't hurt!"

"Then go die."

"??? There's really nothing else?"

Seeing that the system had stopped responding, Wu Di knew he had extorted about as much as he could. It probably would not give him any more.

"You said it!"

Wu Di stared intensely at the interface, browsing through the various Talent abilities. There were Talents from heroes ranging from S-Class to C-Class, but naturally, he had no interest in anything below S-Class.

For example, the Seventeenth S-Class Hero, Sexy Prisoner, had the Talents Physical Strength Enhancement and Angel Form. His combat power was greatest when completely naked, and his attached skill was Angel Barrage.

Even the Psychic Powers of the highly ranked Second S-Class Hero Tatsumaki and the Laser Eyes of the First S-Class Hero Blast were available. Yet what caught Wu Di's attention most was the Talent Skill of a C-Class Hero.

Second C-Class Hero, Saitama. Talent Skills: Normal Punch, Serious Punch.

"It even has this!"

Wu Di's eyes gleamed. Teacher Saitama's Normal Punch could instantly kill even a Dragon-level Peak monster.

Even the cheapest S-Class Talents required at least ten thousand Talent Points to exchange, and the growth cap for Talents was one hundred percent. The specific number of Talent Points required varied for each one.

Newly unlocked Talent Skills were still very weak, but the higher the Talent Value, the stronger their power became. In the end, they could even surpass the heroes themselves.

"System, I won't say much else. I want Saitama's Talent Skills."

"Ding~ Saitama's Talent Skills cannot be exchanged. They can only be obtained by triggering and completing missions."

The system's ruthless voice shattered Wu Di's fantasy. Fortunately, he still had an S-Class Talent and the beginner's gift pack as a fallback, so they should not be too bad.

"Forget it. Open the beginner's gift pack for me!"

Under Wu Di's expectant gaze, the system interface began to spin, and an S symbol appeared before him.

"Ding~ Congratulations, Host, on opening the beginner's gift pack. You have obtained the S-Class Talent: Immortality."

"Hahaha! Heaven is helping me!"

Wu Di was ecstatic. At the moment, this was probably the best Talent he could have received.

Eighth S-Class Hero, Zombieman. Talent: Immortality (all injuries can heal), Talent Growth Value: zero percent.
